YACHTS

After seeing his concept design for GLASS, Lujac Desautel can design us a luxury yacht any day! This floating oasis is simultaneously a megayacht and an amazing modern house, with 5,600 square feet of roaming space on its twin hulls. You've got everything on here, floor-to-ceiling windows, several swimming pools, and glass elevators, all wrapped up in an awesome concept that uses Legos and skyscrapers as inspiration.

Yachtsmen are out in full force cruising the waters of the Caribbean, with its seaworthy marinas and luxury yacht clubs on the tropical waters. Having an eye out for the best marinas is as important to a successful trip as having a dependable crew and a well-maintained ship. Here are a few full-service marinas and yacht clubs throughout the Caribbean Islands that have served yachts and crews for years.

When a yacht brand refers to itself as the "Aston Martin of the Seas," we take notice. Hampshire, UK-based Hunton Powerboats manufactures made to order powerboats that are packed with bespoke British furniture, teak wood and leather.

The two most exclusive yacht clubs in the world, the New York Yacht Club in Newport, RI and the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes on the Isle of Wight, are joining forces to stage an epic Transatlantic Race in June of 2015.

Billionaire banker, philanthropist, and former Chase Manhattan Bank CEO David Rockefeller could obviously own any boat in the world. However, when he heads out on the water in Southwest Harbor, Maine, his hand is on the tiller of a Hinckley — vessels which have been built by hand in Southwest Harbor since 1928.

With Gwyneth Paltrow’s marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in pieces, lots of attention is being focused on her relationship with handsome Miami billionaire, Jeff Soffer. Soffer, who married Elle Macpherson last year, has denied any romantic attachment to Paltrow — though rumors have circulated for years.

Large yachts definitely have a time and place, and are great if you want to host a big group of people or have a party. But if you want a quiet (maybe romantic) getaway vessel, you're probably going to want something smaller. After all, big isn't always better.

Even though concept yachts aren't quite a reality yet (though some never make it), we love them just the same. It's exciting to see what companies and designers are dreaming up, and even more exciting when the project is actually slated for construction. The Picchio Boat is scheduled for a 2015 release date and trust us, you're going to want one. Why? Two words: Glass floor.
